Book Description
I began my study of Gog and Magog more than fifteen years ago in the early 90's while resident in New York. My subsequent public lecture on the subject never failed to provoke keen interest from my Muslim audiences in several parts of the world. The evidence and arguments presented in the chapter on Gog and Magog in my book 'Jerusalem in the Qur'an', succeeded in convincing many who read the book that we now live in a world dominated by Gog and Magog. There were easily convinced that the 'town' mentioned in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Anbiyah (21:95-96) was Jerusalem and hence, that Gog and Magog (and Dajjal) explained the ominously unfolding was on Islam with slaughter and destruction of Muslims in so many parts of the world. As a consequence, such readers also understood Israel's mysterious imperial agenda, and many have been making efforts to extricate themselves and their families from the embrace of Gog and Magog - an embrace that will take 999 out of every 1000 of mankind into the hellfire. Despite my best efforts, however, I failed miserable, again and again, to convince my learned peers, the scholars of Islam. I earnestly hope and pray that this book mught make a difference InshaAllah.

Book Description
Alexander's alleged Wall against Gog and Magog, often connected with the enclosure of the apocalyptic people, was a widespread theme among Syriac Christians in Mesopotamia. In the ninth century Sallam the Interpreter dictated an account of his search for the barrier to the Arab geographer Ibn Khurradadhbih. The reliability of Sallam's journey from Samarra to Western China and back (842-45), however, has always been a highly contested issue. Van Donzel and Schmidt consider the travel account as historical. This volume presents a translation of the source while at the same time it carefully looks into other Eastern Christian and Muslim traditions of the famous lore. A comprehensive survey reconstructs the political and topographical data. As so many other examples, also this story pays witness to the influence of the Syriac Christian tradition on Koran and Muslim Traditions.

Book Description
In all religions, in the medieval West as in the East, ideas about the past, the present and the future were shaped by expectations related to the End. The volumes Cultures of Eschatology explore the many ways apocalyptic thought and visions of the end intersected with the development of pre-modern religio-political communities, with social changes and with the emergence of new intellectual and literary traditions. The two volumes present a wide variety of case studies from the early Christian communities of Antiquity, through the times of the Islamic invasion and the Crusades and up to modern receptions, from the Latin West to the Byzantine Empire, from South Yemen to the Hidden Lands of Tibetan Buddhism. Examining apocalypticism, messianism and eschatology in medieval Christian, Islamic, Hindu and Buddhist communities, the contributions paint a multi-faceted picture of End-Time scenarios and provide their readers with a broad array of source material from different historical contexts. The first volume, Empires and Scriptural Authorities, examines the formation of literary and visual apocalyptic traditions, and the role they played as vehicles for defining a community’s religious and political enemies. The second volume, Time, Death and Afterlife, focuses on key topics of eschatology: death, judgment, afterlife and the perception of time and its end. It also analyses modern readings and interpretations of eschatological concepts.

Book Description
This book is devoted to a study of the Jasad, whom the Prophet-King Solomon ('alayhisalam) saw sitting on his throne, and the first problem we encounter in this study is that neither the Qur'an nor the Prophet Muhammad's (sallalahu 'alayhi wasallam) Hadith explain who this Jasad truly is.This book has, therefore, been written with the specific purpose of inviting a scholarly response to this subject of the Jasad, from those who defend the salafi methodology, as well as those who defend the methods by which the Qur'an is studied in the Dar al-Ulum...Imran N. Hosein was born in Trinidad, West Indes. He studied under the guidance of the distinguished scholar of Islam, Maulana Dr. Fadlur Rahman Ansari, at the Aleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies, Karachi, Pakistan. He is also a post-graduate of Philosophy from the Karachi University of West Indes, and a Post Graduate of International Relations from the University of the West Indes, Trinidad and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva, Switzerland.
